4 SIGNS YOUR ASPHALT PAVEMENT NEEDS REPAIR
S.M.A.R.T. – Sustainable Maintenance for Asphalt Roads & Treatments
Your asphalt pavement is built to last, but over time, wear and tear can take its toll. Ignoring small issues now can lead to costly repairs later.
Here are four key signs its time for maintenance:
1. Cracks & Potholes - Small cracks may not seem like a big deal, but they allow water to seep in, weakening the foundation. Left untreated, they can expand into potholes, creating safety hazards and costly damage.
2. Fading & Discoloration - Asphalt naturally fades from deep black to gray due to sun exposure and oxidation. This is a sign the surface is losing its protective oils and may need sealing to prevent further deterioration.
3. Pooling Water - Standing water on your pavement after rain indicates poor drainage, which can erode the surface and lead to cracks or potholes. Proper leveling and sealcoating can help prevent long-term damage.
4. Warping & Uneven Surface - If your pavement has waves, dips, or soft spots, it could be due to an unstable base or heavy traffic stress. Addressing these issues early can prevent full pavement failure.
Pavement Preservation Strategies
Sealcoating:- Protects against UV rays, water damage, and oxidation.
Crack Sealing:- Prevents moisture from weakening the pavements foundation.
Regular Maintenance:- Keeps surfaces smooth, safe, and visually appealing.
